QuotationsAlice Curtayne, The Irish Story: A Survey of Irish History and Culture (Dublin: Clonmore & Reynolds 1962): After a slow start, during which people were confused and inhibited by political catch-cries, aftermath of the troubled years, a wave of national efort at cultural reconstruction is now sweeping the country. There is a new clamour for the products of all creative workers, which is evoking a response. Every year sees some exciting development - it may be a set of stained glass windows in a church, a book in Irish, or an original play. No one knows to what crest this wave may yet carry us.'

NotesLough Derg (Monaghan: R&S Printers 1968), argues
that hagiographies of St. Patrick permit the speculation that the saint
was in the Lough Derg region during his missioin in spite of the deficit
of specific biographical record to that effect in those books.
